I found an amazing pot at the flea market and tried out a 19th-century meatball recipe, so there is no proper article today. Sorry. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/05/31/e... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #kitchenalia

Sorry for bein political on main, but the next time someone makes you think Bluesky isn't worth your time as a creator, remember that it has a big enough footprint that Russian spies are stealing accounts on it to affect global politics

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Für @kaiwegner.bsky.social und @cduberlin-agh.bsky.social ist das urbane Lebensqualität einer Metropole…🥳

I am amazed by the success with which high speed rail, public transit networks, cycling and e-bike infrastructure, renewables, open-source software, decentral power grids, recycling, urban planning and vocational education can be framed as "not technology".

The Professor is everywhere.

I was *there* for the early Internet and, hell, was part of the youth collective enlisted by pony-tailed Gen-X-ers to help build its culture. We used to have human moderators, human readers, and human solutions to human problems. It really was *vast corporate investment* that ruined things.

In the latest episode we unpack the Dreadnought Hoax. In 1910 a group of costumed Britons pretending to be Abyssinian Royalty managed to bluff their way onboard the navy's most important ship. Was this prank satirical or just offensive? art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Linnemann nutzt hier den Begriff "Zutrauen"; eine Vokabel, die man adjektiviert für Haustiere verwendet. So hätte die Union die Bürger*innen gerne: zutraulich! Das richtige Antonym von Misstrauen heißt "Vertrauen", was allerdings eine Gegenseitigkeit ist, weshalb Linnemann das Wort nicht anfasst.

Reason number eleventy million and forty-two not to use AI for every damn thing and not to believe what it says.

"Transport poverty is a situation in which an individual or household cannot attain socially necessitated levels of mobility. The report estimates the extent of this across Europe and provides insights into who is affected by it." Spoiler: Cars won´t solve this. greenpeace.at/uploads/2026...

DHL so: Wir haben Sie nicht angetroffen. Ihr Paket liegt in einem Kasten ohne Bedienelemente auf einem unbeleuchteten Aldiparkplatz am Stadtrand. Wenn Sie eine 100MB App runterladen und ihr Zugriff auf Bluetooth und den Gerätestandort geben, können Sie ihn öffnen. Vielleicht.

Indeed this fellow has filed a defamation suit against Google. It is important to note that the suit has been filed in Ontario, Canada, and not in the United States. I suspect he has a rather better chance up north than he would here. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Have you come across any early modern recipes using sorrel?

Another recipe from the Solothurn MS: sweet-sour chard served cold. Sometimes, Renaissance food can go pretty nouvelle cuisine. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/05/11/s... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #earlymodern #medievalsky

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

In 1830, the people of Braunschweig went from humble petitions to setting fire to the duke's ballroom in seven days. And it worked. Also, really bad soup. www.culina-vetus.de/2026/05/08/c... #culinaryhistory #foodhistory #eattherich #revolution

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

Most relatable comic of all time?

Ich gebe zu, auch ich hegte anfangs Sympathie für das Experiment „Warum nicht mal ein Mann?“, aber in Zeiten wie diesen können wir uns einfach keine Mimosen in Führungspositionen leisten. Deutschland braucht wieder eine Kanzlerin.

More eighteenth century things

MUPPET WICKER MAN (Brian Henson, 1993) Police Sergeant Kermie travels to the isolated town of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. He finds the locals to be a surly and suspicious lot, rustic practitioners of crude bawdiness and Celtic neo-paganism. Starring Vincent Price as Lord Summerisle.

Von Obst können wir noch einiges lernen. Obst hat einfach die Erdbeere aufgenommen, obwohl diese eigentlich eine Nuss ist. Obst rennt nicht durch die Gegend und ruft" Erdbeeren raus" oder "Erdbeeren sind illegal im Obstregal". Sei einfach mehr wie Obst. (Netzfund)
